Notes:
The iron(II) complex [Fe(bpp)2]-(CF3SO3)2 H2O (bpp = 2,6-bis(pyrazolyl-3-yl)pyridine) shows a thermal spin transition associated with a hysteresis of approximately 140 K width. The transition temperatures T1/2 (where the fraction of HS species γHS = 0.5) are 147 K and ≍285 K in the cooling and heating directions, respectively. The compound shows the LIESST and reverse-LIESST effects at low temperatures. The relaxation of the metastable HS states generated by LIESST was observed quantitatively at temperatures between 77.5 and 85 K by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Metastable HS states can also be generated by rapid cooling of the sample. The relaxation of the metastable HS states formed by thermal spin-state trapping was monitored at temperatures between 104 and 118 K by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The relaxation mechanisms of the HS states generated by LIESST and thermal spinstate trapping are completely different. We suggest that the HS → LS relaxation after thermal spin-state trapping is triggered by an additional structural phase transition of the system.
